How's the old girl doing Rob, or should we just call her Snoozy Quattro now  

 

It's looking that way ! Really need to get onto it but I've been spending time getting my house sorted out, and building a new relationship.
Also trying to save for my UK trip in December/Jan. How many quattro parts can I take back in a suitcase?

A new relationship! Sorry Rob I didn't realise. Hope you're OK  There's more important things than cars

Plus one on this.. .. didnt know either!

Yeah things have changed somewhat in the last 12 months - I separated from the wife of 15 years, bought her out of the house, managed to keep Rusty.

But I've met someone and am busy making that work ❤️ 

Hope it works out for you Rob. 👫

Finally got some time today.

That would be the O-ring from the new water pump.

You can buy them separately from Audi - $10 ex-Auckland.

Ready to go when the new o-ring arrives tomorrow. Better clean up that surface a bit first.

An heir and a spare eh?

 

 

You could try putting a small amount of silicone grease between your fingers and running the ring through it to enable it to seat and move without pinching when you refit it Rob.

 

Nice job on the leak finding, you're getting quite a skillset now

Planning to do so this time, bought a tube of silicone grease just now

Well I think that proves that sometimes a little lube is needed to do the job!
All back together and it holds pressure. Yay!
Except I put the power steering pump back in then realised I hadn't re-fitted the secondary radiator. Couldn't summon the energy to re-do that tonight as it's getting late.

Getting somewhere, only managed half an hour but I got the secondary rad back in and grille on so Rusty is looking good.

 

So.... hes nearly working fully and properly??? 😆

Maybe ! 
Scared to start the engine

We're getting close to a launch countdown now Rob

 

Must be a good feeling seeing it going back together.

Yes!
It has been so long I've forgotten what I was doing with the interior and stereo stuff

I think this needs live streaming

It's all written on the wall isn't it???   ;-)

Rusty has moved!

 

 

 

It's great to see a grin, long may they continue 👍
